The history of the label:
Zephyrus (Ζέφυρος), in Hellenic mythology, was considered the personification of the west wind. In the Odyssey it is considered a beneficial wind, soft and light, similar to the breeze and messenger of spring, the wind that blew during the journey of Ulysses. It was said that the sweet breath of this spring wind from the west made flowers bloom, fruit ripen, favored the germination of seeds and the recovery of nature from winter sleep. They attribute to him as "the places where the evening star rises, where the sun extinguishes its last fires". (Ovid, The Metamorphoses) Zephyr, soft and light, fragrant and floral like the sea breeze. This is our wine.
